"Weezy be too much": Lil Win's shares 1st speech as Ibrahim Traore, GH reacts

Lil Win's First Speech as Ibrahim Traore Goes Viral

Ghanaian actor Lil Win is set to play Captain Ibrahim Traore. This role is in an upcoming biopic about Burkina Faso's president. A clip of his performance has gone viral on social media.

Fans are particularly interested in how he pronounces the president's name. Lil Win, also known as Kwadwo Nkwansah, shared a one-minute scene on May 21. In the clip, he exits a building with bodyguards.

The movie is titled *The Last African Hero*. It highlights Ibrahim Traore's life and presidency. Captain Traore became president after ousting Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba in September 2022.

At 37, Traore is the second-youngest head of state globally. His leadership has seen Burkina Faso cut ties with France. He also helped form the Alliance of Sahel States with Mali and Niger.

In April 2024, there was an attempted coup involving Traore’s Chief of Staff. The plotters reportedly confessed to accepting a bribe of 25 billion CFA francs (about $41 million). The Ministry of Security called it a serious betrayal of national sovereignty.

Captain Traore has gained trust among Burkinabés and many Africans. He is becoming a notable figure in politics.

While some fans support Lil Win’s portrayal, others have concerns. They wonder if he will cover all aspects of Traore's presidency. In another video, Lil Win mispronounced the military leader’s name, which caught attention online.
